Trenchless Technology
Trenchless technology involves the installation, replacement or renewal of underground utilities with minimum excavation and surface disruption. Several construction techniques and methods qualify as Trenchless.
Trenchless technologies are and have been used successfully for all underground utilities from water, sewer, gas, and industrial pipelines, to electrical conduit and fibre optics.
Trenchless technologies are also used as a construction option in urbanised areas with heavy vehicular and pedestrian traffic and numerous existing underground utilities. Trenchless is an attractive option for crossing roadways and other transportation corridors, and rivers and waterways.
Trenchless can also be used to install, rehabilitate or replace utilities located in environmentally sensitive areas and locations where surface access may be restricted due to the existence of structures or vegetation.
The benefits of using trenchless technology are numerous and varied but should always be seen as site specific.
Trenchless Advisor evaluates every project on its own requirements and client specifications, as well as ground conditions, existing utilities, topography and other asset owner requirements.

Horizontal Directional Drilling
Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) is an underground civil construction method used to install a product/utility below the ground’s surface without disturbing the surface or above ground activities.
Microtunnelling / Pipe Jacking
Microtunneling is a Trenchless construction method used to install pipelines beneath highways, railroads, runways, harbours, rivers, and environmentally sensitive areas.
Auger Boring
Auger boring retains and removes the soils within a casing, which reduces the likelihood of ground settlement from excavation, making auger boring a popular option for installing utilities under railroads, highways, and levees where settlement is a concern.
Pipe Ramming
Pipe ramming is a trenchless method for installing steel casing pipe under roads, railroads and other structures. The casing is installed open ended, which allows the soil to enter the casing.
Projects
Trenchless Advisor undertakes a wide range of work for both the Government and private sectors.
To date, Trenchless Advisor has successfully assisted our clients with various designs, feasibilities, assessments, on-site monitoring, project management, and specialised documentation for over 900 Trenchless crossings incorporating horizontal directional drilling, microtunneling, auger boring and pipe ramming.
Trenchless Advisor has been involved in trenchless bores involving the installation of conduits and pipelines for electrical, gas, water, recycled water, sewer, drains, and communication projects.
Our extensive project experience highlights Trenchless Advisor’s ability to deliver a broad range of innovative services and solutions to our clients.
